C Standard Function Inlining

[jsmith]

But he can write the code in such a way to facilitate the compiler.

// some header file:
#ifndef FOO_H
#define FOO_H

void general_func( int a, int b, int c );

inline void specialized_func( int a, int b ) {
  general_func( a, b, 4 );
}

#endif 

gives the compiler the best chance to optimize away the function call to
specialized_func in the user's code.

How do I get the assembly code and how do I recognize function calls (I have very basic knowledge of assembly...)

It depends on what compiler you are using.

[Tom Backton]

If it's an option given by the compiler, I'll read its documantation...but I have one last question: how do I recognize a function call in the assembly code (so that I'll be able to tell whether a function has been inlined or not)?

The x86 instruction is CALL.
